Jury Comments
Cable Cruise was chosen for the Award of Excellence because it layers a new mode of transit on the city’s infrastructure without deconstruction or use of other imbedded energies. It introduces a compelling argument for what might be possible in the eventual decommissioning of the existing hydro towers, creating the impetus for a vertical park and a future attraction for Torontonians and tourists alike. The ground plane is left to be addressed by each community as it passes through. This adaptive reuse of the existing framework through the use of addition, rather than subtraction, is original, inspiring and structurally ambitious.
